Synopsis

One of the true classics of American literature. Originally published in 1900, it was the first truly American fairy tale, as Baum crafted a wonderful fantasy, peopled with memorable characters — a cornfield scarecrow, Tin Woodman, and a humbug wizard. Follow the adventures of young Dorothy Gale and her dog, Toto, as their Kansas house is swept away by a cyclone and they find themselves in a strange land called Oz. Here she meets the Munchkins and joins the Scarecrow, the Tinman, and the Cowardly Lion on an unforgettable journey to the Emerald City.

I've never liked the movie. And that's my shameful secret, Random Goodreader. It terrified me that the mean neighbor was going to have Toto put down. And there was never any resolution to that when Dorothy came back from Oz! The movie just glossed over the fact that as soon as Toto set foot in Kansas......more

The Wizard of Oz as An Economic Parable: A Short Introduction This might be common knowledge or it might not be. Some economics textbooks claim this is a wonderfully esoteric nugget: The story of Oz was an economic parable. Take that, all you who said economics can't be fun. Redistributions of wealth......more
